Oil pastels mixed with pencil, I like them best on paper, smooth paper. The pencil is not good on canvas.
Birds, with their roundish body but rather "graphical" legs, feet and beaks (and feathers), are a nice subject for this matter. Things are a little dark here, that's because I used the camera and not the scanner because of the smudgyness...
And oups, Blogger has pixies in it's polices right now....?

Sorry about this, I'll try and send my comment again. I think my computer's gone funny this morning!
I love these birds with their wibbley wobbley legs and the colours are glorious :)x
wow! "and they bowed" is ...well, WOW! Love all of them but that one really jumps off the page at me. And you're just learning water colors? Ok, I give up.
Oh how fun these are and so colorful. My post is about birds too, altho real. I LOVE all these.
I really like the combination of pastel and pen or pencil. The last picture at first glance looks like some tulips! Then we see the tipping birds. Wonderful.
Do they? And i bow to you!
Great work.

These are all wonderful birds...the top one has such a good feel to his posture/pose...the second one is fat and happy as well as coy...and the bottom three won my heart as a can-can revue in Gay Paree.
My gosh Andrea,,,I LOVE these birds!
Each is unique in it's own specialness.
Oil pastel can be so much fun,,,and I can see you know that!
These are really beautiful and brilliant colors........ooooooo,aaaaaaah, pretty!
The colours are yummy! I am also playing with oil pastels, crayons and watercolour on very smooth paper.
These drawings are such fun!
Thoses bids are very funny. Nice blog!
Birds...I mean Birds
Liebe Andrea,
ok, Drachen, Vögel, Deine "Fauna"-Sprünge sind gewaltig, passend zu Deiner Phantasie und Kreativität. Hübsch sind alle drei Bilder, aber am genialsten finde ich das Trio ganz unten. Man guckt und fragt sich, sind das nun 3 Feuervögel oder sind es doch 3 Tulpen?(Deine Assoziation für den endlich einfliegenden Frühling?) Bilder mit Fragezeichen sind doch immer wieder die spannendsten, hat mich die Münchner Kandinsky-Ausstellung wieder gelehrt!
Ganz liebe Grüße sendet Dir Wurzerl
These are adorable little bird, Andrea. Such fun sketches. You offer me encouragement.
the third artwork is nice and funny.

Whooo! These are lovely Andrea! You are really doing a lovely job with these new materials. I think it is the expressions I love the most...well, yes, even the expressions on "And They Bowed To Their King" :)
The bowing birds are GREAT! They are comical and whimsical! It's the kind of thing that makes you smile.
I also wanted to tell you that I am looking for artists who would post about the inspiring things around their studios. Please see my entry here: http://www.heatherbartlettart.com/2009/03/studio-inspiration/
I would love it if you would do a post about stuff that inspires you and post some studio photos to share and then link from the comment section of my website so I can then come back here and see your post about your studio. I love to learn about the things that inspire other artists that they keep around them every day.
Thanks!
not fan but this one are nice

They are lovely Andrea but no king needs bowing that long.
All well?
